Try Herbivore's Tempeh Burrito with Edamame Guacamole!

Herbivore's Tempeh Burrito with Edamame Guacamole (Vegan, GF option available)


   
If you have seen our menu or been to our restaurant, you must have noticed our love for tempeh. Herbivore's Tempeh Burrito with Edamame Guacamole is the third item we have added to the menu after the success of Vegan Tempeh Benedict and Vegan Tempeh Cheeseburger with Miso Gravy. 

Tempeh is a whole soybean product and made by naturally culturing and controlled fermentation process. Tempeh is an excellent source of protein, vitamins, and dietary fiber, and we think tempeh should be part of everyone's diet. 

A lot of customers ask us how we marinate our tempeh. Our secret to making delicious tempeh is in our vegan, gluten-free House Orange Ginger Sauce.

Roasted Orange, Ginger, Garlic & Onion-key ingredients for our Orange Ginger Sauce (vegan, GF)

Try one of our tempeh dishes next time you are in, we guarantee you will fall in love with tempeh!
